Not only do we stand by our reporting. Madison Square Garden’s ridiculous lawsuit actually confirms it, noting the company did, in fact, track the sexual orientation of LGBTQIA celebrities in its talent database.

A statement from WIRED leadership.

What weird little rich creeps. They want to track all this shit? like every minagerie themed villain -whether it's your sexual preference, pregnancies at the border, or gardens full of hitler statues. collector creeps

This will go very badly for him

MSG is pulling a rowling, eh?

The thing is the US legal system still is a game where the rich can just sue with impunity as to drain bank accounts.

Ответ для Élodie Marissa: in Depeche Mode

I sure as hell could not survive a libel suit against a billionaire anywhere but it’s reassuring that WIRED is confident digging their heels in against a bully even as Amnesty International and other UK truth-speakers fold to JK Rowling’s terfy harassment.

Ответ для Élodie Marissa: in Depeche Mode

Yeah, Peter Thiel financed Hulk Hogan ending Gawker because Gawker outed him.

I am pretty sure all media outlets are struggling at this point with how many of them paywall stuff.

Ответ для Élodie Marissa: in Depeche Mode

Fair, though I think/hope WIRED still has a better case for the 1st amendment protections of this reporting than Gawker had for leaking a celebrity sex tape, regardless of the finances of the parties involved.

Thank you. Keep up the good work.

This reporting makes me feel icky and I’ve never been to MSG🤔

Keep on doing what you do.

get em Noah

Okay but you said it like it was a bad thing. You're supposed to talk about the fascist horrors like they're good or you'll make the fascists sad.

When is anyone going to wake up about the need for privacy laws? There’s no reason for the MSG to track this kind of stuff, and it should be fucking illegal, period.

Ответ для Shannon Nosurname 🏳️‍🌈 🏴‍☠️🐸

Unfortunately, the UK's defamation laws are a joke, but not the funny kind.

Wait, so in there official lawsuit, they admit to doing the thing they're suing you over for claiming they did it?... 🤣

Sorry , I didn’t read the story …but, How could they tell who was LGBTQ? Biometrics? Does this group have people have identifiable features? Social media posts? Gossip?

Ответ для guido-is-my-name

For the celebs - most are out publicly. Ricky Martin is named in the article as being on MSGs list and has been out for at least 15 years.

Ответ для Liza Jane (she/her)

If I went to games dressed as Dennis Rodman….would I make the list?

Confirming MSG is *An Absolute Dogwater* company, and an *ideologically radioactive* venue…

Ответ для Gavin Werbeloff

For the life of me I can't remember Toby ever running.

I'm old enough to remember a lawyer suing MSG because they were booted out of Radio City. Lawyer found out they used facial recognition and Dolan put the lawyer on a list because of her firm. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Ответ для robinbeltane

A firm I used to be at once sued the operator of suburban trains in my city. If they were somehow allowed to apply this kind of ridiculous policy 3/4 of the office wouldn't show up.

DON’T LET UP!

Here's where the Streisand Effect kicks in

I look forward to the discovery phase of this trial.

You forgot EOU

Happy to report that this is totally causing a streisand effect, as I hadn’t seen the original reporting before now

Damn. I was going to have my wedding there.

digital yellow stars

I never thought I'd see myself rooting for a corporate journo.

For some reason conservatism can’t be untangled from weird sext pesting

I have every faith it's true because it would be very unusual and stupid for them not to have such a thing in its database on/of artists for the hospitality staff, whose job is to make sure the artist is properly catered to. Why would Dolan lie about such a thing?

Where are they being sued?

The Knicks got a bubble of sympathy and love after taking the title, but damn this guy Dolan is bursting it.

Ответ для LHommeDeDialogue

Knicks fans hate the owner

Ответ для DidntWeAlmostHaveItAll

With good reason. He’s awful. Even die hard Lakers fans like me loved it when the Knicks won. Such a great, joyful team. But Dolan. Damn.

Ответ для LHommeDeDialogue

Best to think of them as mutually exclusive units. Love the team, loathe the twat who kept them from winning earlier.

Ответ для DidntWeAlmostHaveItAll

Well said. It’s the only attitude a fan can have. I will be so glad when the idiot Buss kids are finally gone. Hope we’ll play you guys in the Finals next year but we’re a real longshot at this point.

Ответ для LHommeDeDialogue

Would love to see it! 2 historic franchises ftw

Ответ для DidntWeAlmostHaveItAll

LAL not getting past OKC or the Spurs, alas.

Ответ для LHommeDeDialogue

Maybe someday before too long ... we just can't be waiting another 53 years over here

Thank you for this quality reporting. Just renewed my Wired subscription.

Well, you have my support.

Dolan‘s pic should be in the dictionary under douchebag

Dolan suing WIRED, Rowling threatening to sue Amnesty International. Billionaires gonna use their money for ebook ends.

Dolan is a massive idiot.

So i want to know WHY this was important information to know??? They better answer that straight up. No bullshit.

Is this the part where discovery is the fun word to use?! I know nothing about the process. Give them hell!

Ответ для JCBeaches

Yeah, nows that time.

Get their asses

Good! Maybe the progressives who buy Knicks merch and Knicks tickets will help pay for WIRED's legal expenses. Taylor Swift just had her wedding at MSG? Dolan is scum. Trump is scum. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Just ask Jimmies ex wife Deborah what a great guy he is.

More like you stand by paid subscriptions and paywalls. Your article does not exist to most New Yorkers.

Take it outside.

Ответ для Allanque Bohique 🌟🚑🌻

Sucks but they gotta make money somehow, especially if they hope to be able to fight back against lawfare like this

The process is the punishment? Is that's what's going on here?

This is why I stay subscribed to you guys. Keep it up.

Good. Do lots and lots of discovery.

💥

Imagine how many corporations are tracking every one of us about everything...

Ответ для CC "J 6th Committee/Jack Smith"

So just let this slide? Riiiiiight.

Ответ для That Sea Pilot

Blocked?!? THEY'RE HIDING.

This is why it's important for news outlets to be at least big enough to play this kind of ball while not being assimilated into the corporate borg they need to report on. Independent journalists have to rely on gofundme unfortunately.

Here's the latest piece. Like @katie-drummond.bsky.social says, it's free for everyone to read, because James Dolan doesn't want you to: www.wired.com/story/for-ta...

Ответ для Noah Shachtman

Finding out that MSG operates a face recognition security system that monitors people’s sex and identifications is something else.

Ответ для Noah Shachtman

I had missed these stories. Go Streisand Effect!

Literally signed up for WIRED because of this reporting.

Zero percent chance Taylor Swifts team wasn't aware of this, btw.

Ответ для Lady A

taylor's been soft-MAGA basically ever since she hooked up with travis kelce, this is "water makes you wet" level obvious and probably part of why MSG was picked.

What is it with MAGA and their obsession with genitals? Creepy-ass fuckers.

Good for you!
